SIAA and Singapore Polytechnic  

SIAA and Singapore Polytechnic School of Electrical and  Electronics Engineering are in collaboration to foster creativity, innovation, productivity and the spirit of invention in the local engineering scene. We plan to utilize student concepts to design ‘functional systems’ for local enterprises.

The objective is to utilize the latest wireless technologies to integrate systems that fulfill local SME’s needs/future requirements and improve process.  Alternatively, students may be tasked to build and configure prototypes that are requested by SMEs. Design, Building and prototyping services will be provided to local enterprises free of charge. Local enterprises may also use this opportunity as recruitment ground for outstanding students. 

SIAA is gathering a consort of interested local enterprises to assign projects to students based on individual company’s needs and requirements. This information will be strictly confidential and will not be revealed to external parties. Concepts, ideas and requirements from local enterprises will be greatly appreciated.

INTERNATIONAL MACHINE TOOLS EXPO 2008 (IMEX’08)

Singapore Industrial Automation Association supports Imex 08 India  

IMEX exhibition, India 2008 is an exclusive showcase of Machine Tools and allied products scheduled to be organised at India’s premier trade fair venue, Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai from the 22^nd to 25^th October 2008.  

The fourth edition, IMEX’08 builds on the success of earlier editions in Chennai and Mumbai.  The Indian economy maintained the momentum of growth recorded in the last three years, exhibiting a robust 8.9 per cent in Q1 FY 07, the highest ever first quarter growth rate. The manufacturing sector, a key contributor to the impressive growth figure, is galloping ahead. The sector continues to be the main driver of industrial activity.  

The Indian machine-tool output in the last two years has seen a growth rate nothing short of phenomenal. Industry sources attribute the surge to increased demand from three growing industrial sectors: automotive, auto ancillaries, and consumer durables.  A truly international trade fair, IMEX has always delivered beyond expectations. The IMEX'07 edition attracted participation from 17 countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Romania, The Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, USA, etc). IMEX'08 is slated to be larger.   

IMEX’08 endeavors to set standards in terms of footfall numbers as well as enquiry/ deal generation and emerge as the region’s main sourcing point for Machine Tools and Allied Products…… an opportunity not to be missed

Take advantage of the innovative strength and leading character of IMEX’08 and experience a unique, fascinating combination of heartfelt tradition and cosmopolitan modernism.
